Many people still believe that they re-
ceive warnings in Dreams and it is impos-
sible to rebut the arguments for such be-
lief, but we may confidently assert that
any general reliance on the confused and
contradictory indications of dreams would
involve the most inconsistent yagaries of
conduct, wholly unworthy OF q rational
being. Our reason and our dreams are
often so hopelessly at variance, that TO de-
sert the former for the latter, would be
equivalent to TeliDqushing the bright
shining of the sun in order to pursue
treacherous will-o -the-wisp. The writer
once had occasion to engage passage for
long sea voyage, and the only vessel
available of the desired time was
a steamer which had been great
favorite in her day, but was then
so old that doubts were entert lined
regarding her seaworthiness. In spite of
warnings on this point he engaged his
berth. and on that very night he had an in
tensely vivid dream of shipwreck and
drowning at sea. Unde.erred, however, he
set sail without serious misgiying and had
n most agreeable and prosperous voyage.
In this case the dream was evidently no
supernatural warning. but rather the result
Of the effect produced upon the imagina-
ton by the hints thrown out regarding the
vessels supposed unseawoTthy character.
Presentimen,s of all kinds are almost in
variably groundless, and when on rare
occasions presentiment is verified by the
result, the explanation is the very simple
and obvious one tha; in this instance our
fears correctly forecasted the future. We
fear and we hope many things more OF less
probable.-AH The Year Round.

Manning and Jordan Both to Accept
Bank Presidencies.
New YORK, January 29th-A. M.-The
Trib1mes Washington special says; The
general impression is that Secretary Man.
ming will resign shortly to accept the Presi-
dency of the Western National Bank of
New York. He had long consultation
with the President yesterday, the result OF
which, it is believed, leaves him free to
accept the offer. Mr.. Manning says: "I
am not in position to deny or affirm the
statements made in regard to my intended
resignation and the acceptance of the Presi-
dency of the new bank. The position has
not been offered to me-" An intimate
friend of the Secretary said: 1.-THE
company is not yet organized, and no Di-
rectors have been elected, hence the Presi-
dency is not definitely agreed upon. If the
Secretary, therefore, says the Presidency
has not been offered to him, he is right, as
far as he goes. He will not deny, though,
that he has been approached on the sub
ject. l have good reason for believing the
offer will be made tomorrow, and that
Manning will accept it."
Treasurer Jordan said 81 have decided
to resign and accept the position in bank
now being formed in New York My re.
signation will not be sent in, however, until
after the adjournment of Congress"

Executive Board, and from the Knights. A
Convention of delegates representing all
the local Assemblies of Knights of Labor
in the coal region was held here to-day,
but no conclusion was arrived at. Another
